Purchased the Tamrac 5680 from Amazon after reading Amazon reviews and Tamrac web-site to check fit for the Canon PowerShot SD870 IS. The actual fit was very snug and the cover did not completely align with the velcro after closing (due to the width of the camera). As with all Tamrac bags, the quality and construction of the bag is very good. Returned the 5680 to Amazon and later found the Tamrac 5206 which seems to fit much better (same features but slightly more room in x,y and z dimensions).
Ultra Compact Pouch Case Digital Travelers Series 5206, Black

Quality construction. Fits well with the SD630 and SD700. Looks great. When others see it, they want it. Kangaroo pouch has its own velcro closure, perfect for an extra battery or SD card - or both.

Of course, Tamrac has been making quality camera accessories for a long time.

Bought this case for my Casio Exilim camera. It is very compact, well-padded, and holds my camera perfectly. Has a velcro closure , NOT a zipper, so it makes it easy to hold the camera by its strap, as well as easy to open/close. A great deal for $6.95!! I love it!

I bought this for my wife, so she gave the following review:

"I have always loved Tamrac camera bags. This one is small, compact and fits on my belt."

Plus my 2 cents: It fits a Canon SD1000 very well & you can carry an extra card.

Excellent material that fits perfect and protects my Canon PowerShot SD1000. Ahhh and also with an extra pocket.

This item was ordered from the site on the web. It showed measurements in increments not accustomed to, and when it arrived, it was about big enough for a cell phone, my bad.

Camera bag NOT AS PICTURED. RunSkipShop shipped me an older version of the Tamrac 5680. If you want the newer (better) version, don't buy it from them.

I bought the Tamrac 5680 case for my Leica C-Lux 3 and it actually is a perfect fit, even better than the dedicated Leica premium leather case which costs $75. I would have rated this a 5-star if it wasn't for the ridiculously large flap cover which in a way added more volume to an otherwise perfect slim case.

This camera case is as close to what I was looking for and has all the features I wanted. The only thing, and this is being picky, is the cover flap could have been made a little thinner.

The Tamrac 5680 gives you a lot of bang for the buck.

It provides sufficient protection for a camera carried in a purse, bag, pocket, or swinging at the end of a hand strap. Just about the only damage I could see happening to a camera in this case are a cracked LCD due to extreme bending or torsion stress, or damage from precipitation or other liquids.

The one very minor nitpick is that the flap makes it slightly thicker than it would otherwise have to be. On the plus side, the flap makes it easier and quicker to use than a zipper-operated bag.

Note that this bag has just enough space in the front pouch for an extra memory card or two, but other accessories such as a charger would obviously have to be carried separately. However, you'd still want to bring a small bag like this along on vacation for use on day trips.

The belt strap is very secure, and would probably survive a mauling by a grizzly bear without coming loose. I used to think only weenies would wear cameras at their belt, especially as I wear business clothes most days, but I can see how this would be very useful to a hiker. The same strap could let you affix your camera in any number of useful places on the outside of a backpack, any other strap, or multiple places inside a motor vehicle.

I bought the blue version for my wife, as black was out of stock. I generally prefer black, as do most people, but one should remember that a lighter color may help avoid overheating the camera when carried in the sun.

Would I have spent this much time writing a review on a Sunday morning if this cheap little bag weren't top notch? :)
